Monday’s slate for the Paris Olympics includes a blockbuster tennis match, a handful of the world’s biggest basketball stars, a couple of compelling swimming finals and a gymnastics showdown. Here’s a guide of what to look out for:

Nadal faces Djokovic at Roland Garros

The biggest highlight of the Roland Garros schedule is Rafael Nadal taking on Novak Djokovic in the second match of the day on Court Philippe Chatrier. It is the 60th meeting of the longtime tennis rivals, more than any other two men have played against each other in the sport’s Open era, which began in 1968.

Djokovic, a 37-year-old from Serbia, has 24 Grand Slam titles, making him the only man in tennis history with more than Nadal’s 22.

Cheered on by an adoring crowd, Nadal beat Marton Fucsovics of Hungary 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 in the first round Sunday. Nadal made a last-minute decision to remain in the singles bracket, a day after he won in doubles and said he wasn’t sure if he would participate in both events.

Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff also play on Monday.

China and Japan set up for exciting final in men’s gymnastics

The men’s gymnastics team final starts at 5:30 p.m. CEST (11:30 a.m. EST). China and Japan rolled through qualifying on Saturday. China is the favorite to win its fourth Olympic team title after posting a total of 263.028 at qualifying. Japan is a seven-time Olympic champion and finished second at 260.594. Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto will defend his all-around title.

The Japanese won silver in Tokyo in 2021, while China took bronze. Defending champion Russia is ineligible due to the war in Ukraine.

Team USA women’s basketball begins quest for 8th straight gold

The U.S. women’s basketball team opens its pursuit of a record eighth straight gold medal. Team USA will face Japan at 9 p.m. CEST (3 p.m. EST) at Pierre Mauroy Stadium. The U.S. women are on a 55-game Olympic winning streak; they haven’t lost since 1992 in Barcelona. Japan took silver in Tokyo after losing to the U.S. 90-75.

The U.S. team is led by two-time WNBA MVPs A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Five-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi returns for her sixth Games.

Also, host France will take on Canada at 5:15 p.m. CEST (11:15 a.m. EST).

Swimming heats up

The women’s 400-meter individual medley final begins at 8:30 p.m. CEST (2:30 p.m. EST) at Paris La Defense Arena. Canada’s Summer McIntosh is a favorite after lowering her own world record (4:24.38) at the Canadian Olympic trials in May. Qualifying heats start at 11 a.m. CEST (5 a.m. EST).

McIntosh also will compete in the women’s 200 freestyle at 9:41 p.m. CEST (3:41 p.m. EST), the last swimming final of the night. McIntosh won her country’s first medal of the Paris Olympics when she beat out the U.S.’s Katie Ledecky for silver in the 400 freestyle Saturday night.

For the men, the 200-freestyle final starts at 8:40 p.m. CEST (2:40 p.m. EST), followed by the men’s 100 backstroke final at 9:19 p.m. CEST (3:19 p.m. EST).

Other finals around the Olympics

Britain’s Tom Daley will attempt to defend his men’s 10-meter synchronized diving title with partner Noah Williams. Competition is set to begin at 11:00 a.m. CEST (5 a.m. EST) at the Aquatics Centre.

Much has changed for Foo Fighters in the nearly six years that has passed since their last show in the metro, including the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in their first eligible year) and the further expansion of their following. But the most obvious difference Sunday night at Target Field was the absence of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died unexpectedly in March 2022 when the band was on tour in Colombia.

Thanks to his big personality and obvious talent, Hawkins served a crucial role in a band that was founded by a drummer, Dave Grohl. Indeed, there was a period of uncertainty about whether or not Grohl would keep Foo Fighters going, especially after his mother died months later.

Grohl ended up pouring his energy into the group’s 11th album, “But Here We Are,” which saw him find a new maturity as he frankly addressed the wide range of emotions that come with the passing of loved ones. While Grohl and company did play several songs from the new record Sunday, it was far from a glum, ponderous night.

If anything, Grohl has upped his on-stage antics to new heights, perhaps to compensate for the lack of Hawkins. When we last saw him, at Xcel Energy Center in October 2018, Grohl came across as a screamier, Gen X version of Bruce Springsteen. Somehow, he’s only gotten bigger and louder in the meantime.

To wit, Grohl blew up the second song of the set, “No Son of Mine,” into a mini rock epic complete with snippets of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” (Speaking of, Grohl’s exaggeratedly gruff speaking/shouting voice and ample use of profanity brought to mind Metallica’s James Hetfield.)

Grohl dropped references to both classic rock and his own favorites throughout the show, from a “Stairway to Heaven” tease before his acoustic “Skin and Bones” to the hook of the Beatles’ “Blackbird” that popped up during “Nothing at All.” During a band introduction — that, frankly, went on a bit too long — he riffed on hits from AC/DC (with guitarist Chris Shiflett), Beastie Boys (bassist Nate Mendel) and the Ramones (guitarist Pat Smear).

Elsewhere, Grohl gave not one, but two shout outs to Husker Dü (he called them one of his favorite bands ever) and, in introducing new drummer Josh Freese, he played the riff of the Replacements’ “Can’t Hardly Wait” as an explanation of Freese’s Minnesota connection.

For his part, Freese proved to be an ideal match for Foo Fighters’ sound, with his muscular and precise playing, which was particularly noticeable during an extended take on “Breakdown.” The 51-year-old is one of the hardest working drummers in the business, having played with a wide variety of artists, including the Replacements, Guns N’ Roses, Devo, Sting, Kelly Clarkson, Weezer, Katy Perry and Michael Buble.

A brief downpour ended up delaying the show’s start by 15 minutes, which Grohl apologized for from the stage, but did little to dampen the enthusiasm from both the stage and the sold-out crowd of more than 40,000. The generous set list touched on various points of the band’s nearly 30 year career. However, Grohl’s commitment to full-throat screaming did feel awkward on the oldies “Learn to Fly” and “This Is a Call.”

Then again, two of the few songs he sang more naturally turned out to be two of the duller moments of the night. He brought his daughter Violet out to help him sing “Show Me How,” a tribute to his late mother, and dedicated the early album track “Aurora” to Hawkins.

Given his remarkable and sustained success leading one of the few contemporary rock bands left at this level, there’s not much Grohl can’t do — except turn personal songs of grief into stadium fodder.
